The Right Foot

(Brian Hendrix)

The colloquial, catchy phrase people love to use is the "wrong foot," suggesting a bad first step into something that doesn't turn out well. Well, what if you got off on the right foot? Imagine how better things could be.

Hey, baby, if you're reading this
You'll know I'm gone for good
You were one step out the door
And I guess I beat you to it
I jumped in with both feet
And I never even looked
My decision to walk out
The best step I ever took

(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm off on the right foot
Not sure if you heard me
First step of my brand new journey
One giant leap for my kind
I'm off on the right foot
Yeah, baby, it's the right foot
Now there's nothing left
A rough road ahead but I'm not scared
I'm alright this time
I got off on the right foot

And no lady could compete with this
The air is freedom in my face
The first step that I took right
About time I found my place
The world all seems fresh and new
Blank pages, a new book
Time to write my story down
Maybe a song with a catchy hook

(Chorus)

Am I crazy to have started this
Now I'm out here on my own
But the truth is, where I was
Wasn't a house, much less a home
Leaving was the only way
To get back what you had took
Though my feet get sore and tired
I don't regret not staying put

(Chorus)

Hang with You

By Brian Hendrix

Liked a girl once. Thought she was awesome. She wanted to be friends. I just wanted a chance to hang out with her. Wrote this for her. Turns out, she wasn't awesome. Such is life. The song's good, though, at least. I consider it a top 20.

When the Lights Are Off

By Brian Hendrix

Another song I consider one of my babies, definitely in my top 20 list. I reckon I oughta start posting the goods here. This one's just about loving. Simple enough. Two people right for each other, that burning passion.

Second Fiddle

By Brian Hendrix

Not a big story behind this one. One of those songs that you wake up at 4a.m. to write because it's stuck in your head. I always imagined Chris Stapleton's voice carrying this one. Pretty self-explanatory as to what the song means.

When I'm Drinking

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song I wrote after meeting Kaya Jones, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls, when she told me she wanted to break into the country music genre. After writing and sending this to her, she instead decided to opt to stick with her pop career, though she did claim she liked the song. It's written from the perspective of a woman who realizes that the only time she regrets breaking up with her lover is when she's drinking and lonely. When she's sober, she's fine - a problem a lot of us have.

Al weer up d' See

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)

Der erste plattdeutsche Songtext hier muss natürlich ein Seemannslied, ein Shanty, sein. Der Text schildert das Leben an Bord eines Segelschiffes.

This song is about a marriage in which the wife is abusive. The husband had finally had enough and packed up the kids and got out of the toxic situation. Then the wife begs for them back. What happens next?... you’ll have to find that out yourself.

Dragged down

By Ines Horvat

At some point, all people had dark thoughts, some just have it darker. Life isn't good to all.

Welt in Flammen

By Nadine Schulze

In diesem Text geht es um eine Person, die hintergangen, belogen, betrogen und verletzt wurde. Man vertraute dem Partner blind und glaubte an eine gemeinsame Zukunft. Doch von heute auf morgen steht alles in Flammen und nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Man bleibt gedemütigt, enttäuscht und verletzt zurück und kann nicht verstehen, wie man sich dermaßen in Menschen täuschen kann
